2020–2024 direction
The reported violent-crime rate ended the window lower
Across 4 comparable reporting years, the rate moved from 286.6 per 100,000 in 2020 to 244.7 in 2024 (-14.6%). The highest observed value was 321.6 in 2022 and the lowest 244.7 in 2024. Years whose submission failed the completeness test are left out of this comparison rather than plotted as change.
Position in the state cohort
Greenacres City sits mid-pack among comparable Florida cities
At 244.7 reported violent offenses per 100,000 residents in 2024, Greenacres City ranks 52 of 126 — above 74 of the 125 other Florida cities whose 2024 submission passes this site’s completeness test. That is +27.0% against the cohort median of 192.7. Cities that did not report, or that reported implausibly low totals, are excluded from this cohort rather than counted as low-crime.
Property counts dominate Greenacres City's FBI UCR Table 8 municipal row. Per-100,000 rates use the reporting-year population on that row; cities that fail the completeness test stay out of rate rankings. A citywide figure rarely describes any single neighbourhood inside the municipal boundary.
Mid-size municipal totals above are reported offenses, not safety advice for any single block. Reporting completeness still varies by year and agency.
